Your temps are okay, but ideally, they should be a little higher, especially since your snake is still fairly young. I would recommend a high of 85-87 and a low of 75-77. Since your snake kept his meal down after waiting 8 days, but not 5 days, only feed him once a week (every 7 days), and don't try to increase the frequency. Some snakes just seem to take a little longer to digest everything. I feed all my corns, hatchlings to adults, only once a week unless there are special circumstances to give an occasional meal sooner (such as a female that just laid eggs or a hatchling that was a late starter/poor feeder and needs a little catching up to do...and this is only well after the hatchling has been eating very regularly).

If your snake continues to regurgitate on a regular basis, take him to a vet for an exam.

Good luck!
